What's wrong?
The brake pressure switch harness on 2019-2020 International Cv vehicles is a small wiring assembly tied into the brake system. It carries the electrical signal from the brake pressure switch so the vehicle can respond correctly when brake pressure changes. Protective material around those wires is supposed to keep the wiring covered and separated from contact points.
On affected vehicles, a replacement brake harness installed during an earlier recall repair did not have that protective material. The harness drawing did not call for the covering, so the wires were left exposed where the updated repair expected shielding. Without that protection, the wiring can short circuit and reduce brake performance.
There is no warning sign before failure. Because the problem is inside the harness covering, an owner cannot count on noise, visible damage, or a pedal change before brake performance is affected. The corrected harness has protective material added so the wires are shielded as intended.
Who's affected?
The scope spans the 2019 and 2020 model years and points to the same parking brake jumper harness.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included in this recall.
What's the safety risk?
Reduced brake performance can make the vehicle take longer to stop and increase the risk of a crash. Treat that braking risk as a reason to schedule the recall repair soon, leave extra following distance, and avoid hard stops before the work is complete. Repair is free at any franchised International dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019-2020 International Cv is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised International dealer to schedule the free brake pressure switch harness repair.
- Bring the recall notice if International mailed one. Reference recall number 25V763 when you call.
- Tell the dealer if the vehicle was repaired under 23V282 or 25V414; this recall still needs the new harness protection repair that helps prevent wire shorts and reduced brake performance.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra stopping distance and avoid hard braking.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an International technician removes the brake pressure switch harness, adds protective material to the wires, and reinstalls the harness. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Vehicles already repaired under recalls 23V282 and 25V414 still need this new remedy completed. If you already paid out of pocket for a related brake pressure switch harness repair before the recall notice, International's standard reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Bring your repair paperwork and receipts to the service desk.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 25V763?
Recall 25V763 covers 159 2019-2020 International Cv vehicles with a brake pressure switch harness that lacks protective material on the wires. A short circuit can reduce brake performance, extend stopping distance, and increase crash risk. International dealers will add the protective material for free.
What should I do if my 2019-2020 International Cv is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 25V763. If it is, contact a franchised International dealer to schedule the brake pressure switch harness repair. Reference recall number 25V763 or International recall number 25521 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and International dealers will remove, add protective material to, and reinstall the brake pressure switch harness free of charge.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is reduced braking performance. If the brake pressure switch harness shorts, the vehicle can need more distance to stop, which increases crash risk. The free dealer repair adds protective material to the harness to prevent the short circuit.
What if I bought this International Cv used?
The recall follows the VIN, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific 2019-2020 International Cv is included, even if you never received the owner letter mailed December 1, 2025. The dealer repair is still free.
